Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments. All paths, examples, and terminology (such as drive letters, backslashes in paths, and references to Windows-specific applications like Exchange and SharePoint) are Windows-centric. There are no examples or guidance for Linux systems, and no mention of Linux shell scripting or file system conventions.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit guidance for configuring pre- and post-backup scripts on Linux systems, including example paths (e.g., /opt/scripts/myscript.sh) and file permissions.
- Provide Linux shell script examples alongside Windows examples, and clarify any differences in script execution (e.g., bash vs. PowerShell/cmd).
- Mention Linux data source naming conventions and provide examples relevant to Linux workloads (e.g., mount points, application data paths).
- Clarify whether MABS supports Linux agents and, if so, document any differences in ScriptingConfig.xml location or usage.
- Avoid assuming drive letters or Windows-only applications in examples; use more generic or cross-platform examples where possible.
